Where we work in the Cowichan Valley
The valley is not one climate. A shaded waterfront lot under fir and arbutus grows moss very differently from an open acreage or a hillside townsite, and the inland end of the valley takes a good deal more rain than the coast does. Each page below is about what actually happens to roofs in that particular community.
